- Light over deepEncre Noire A L'Extreme brings aromatic; Dorsaf brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, patchouli and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody and warm spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Dorsaf is moderate and enormous, Encre Noire A L'Extreme long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDorsaf first, then Encre Noire A L'Extreme over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
